Transient out-of-SOA robustness of SiC power MOSFETs (2017)
Conference Proceeding
Castellazzi, A., Fayyaz, A., Romano, G., Riccio, M., Irace, A., Urresti-Ibanez, J., & Wright, N. (2017). Transient out-of-SOA robustness of SiC power MOSFETs.

Beyond their main function of high-frequency switches in modulated power converters, solid-state power devices are required in many application domains to also ensure robustness against a number of overload operational conditions. This paper consider... Read More about Transient out-of-SOA robustness of SiC power MOSFETs.

UIS failure mechanism of SiC power MOSFETs (2016)
Conference Proceeding
Fayyaz, A., Castellazzi, A., Romano, G., Riccio, M., Urresti, J., & Wright, N. (2016). UIS failure mechanism of SiC power MOSFETs.

This paper investigates the failure mechanism of SiC power MOSFETs during avalanche breakdown under unclamped inductive switching (UIS) test regime. Switches deployed within motor drive applications could experience undesired avalanche breakdown even... Read More about UIS failure mechanism of SiC power MOSFETs.
